"California Democrats, determined to reinforce their dominant party influence in the state, have launched ambitious voter registration drives in a move to win more legislative seats and fend off costly initiative challenges by conservatives in next year's election.

Democratic Party activists are engaged in unprecedented efforts to gain footholds in GOP strongholds in the Inland Empire of San Bernardino and Riverside counties by taking advantage of Republicans' weakness among Latino voters, the state's fastest-growing electorate.

At the same time, Democrats are working to persuade hundreds of thousands of party faithful in voter-rich Los Angeles County to vote permanently by mail. Party leaders say they hope to boost voter turnout in the county, which is the lowest of the state's 58 counties.

Greater turnout by Democrats, the leaders say, could tip the balance in tight statewide races and help defeat well-funded ballot measures including one that would ban unions from using payroll deductions for political purposes, also known as the "paycheck protection" initiative.

"It's simple math," said Shawnda Westly, executive director of the California Democratic Party. "The goal is to get as many as we possibly can to count on election day," when experience shows that increased voting by mail means higher overall turnout.
L.A. could be key

"What happens in Los Angeles could be the margin for Democratic victory all over the state," Westly said, adding that state Democratic leaders got the idea for more mail voters from veteran GOP strategist Tony Quinn, co-editor of the California Target Book.

Last fall, Quinn predicted that Los Angeles' poor voter turnout "may cost Democrats the election" in the California governor's race and other statewide contests. While that didn't happen, Quinn said increasing the army of reliable permanent vote-by-mail voters would be a key factor in future contests.
